Default Ashes to Ashes, Dust to nusery ?

If the car or tree could only talk about their journey together and how they came to be. So sad.

Some people just forget. Then at some point they are just unable, or unwilling, and the tree thing shows

That's an old tree for the car to be in that condition. Makes you wonder what someone parked the car there for.

The trees around the Dodge truck look like Locust. They have a heck of a root system and may all be tied together putting a python grip on that poor old truck! They grow fast too. I am amazed how good the chrome still looks on the front bumper.

There's a 70 Road Runner about 10 minutes away, sitting in a driveway, that has a tree growing through the bumper. No, owner will not sell.
